The Capitals came into Florida off a solid shutout win over the Colorado Avalanche and continued their solid game play, beating their hosts 4 to 2.
First up Thursday night's Plus/Minus:
- Plus: The Capitals bounced back after a weak second period to take control of the contest, score the go ahead goal, and register two points in regulation. A great sign to see early in the season against a young and competitive Panthers squad.
Eight more notes on the game.
- Justin Williams tucked home his first goal of the year from atop Roberto Luongo's crease less than nine minutes into the contest.
